A BOLD SWINDLE.
Wealthy Illinois Farmer Taken In by
Lafayette Sharps.


Special to the Sentinel.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, April 9.-This afternoon an
old gentleman named John Workman, a wealthy
farmer from Sangam0n County, ILL.,, applied to
Captain Goodman for aid in experimenting a
man who had robbed him of 81, 900 last Tuesday.
The description answered TO that OF
Daniel Seribner, a well-known character
OF this city, and he was arrested.
Mr. Workman identified him and he was placed
in jail The robbery was bold one and was
committed by Scribner and two confederates,
who are still at large. Mr.. Workman had drawn
the money from the bank to purchase cattle.
Scubner learned this and took advantage OF
former acquaintance to ride with him. When
on a lonely country roadI confedeIates met
them and conversation ensued. One OF the
men said he was representing q free gift
concern interested in donating amounts OF
money to free schools in each county and leav-
ing donations in the hands of responsible resi-
dents. He said that gentlemen must show
sufficient cash to warrant receipt OF the fund.
Mr.. Workman bit, exhibited his roll and was
robbed. The authorities think they have clear
ca against Seribner and hope to intercept his
oonfederates. 1t was bold game and was sue
cessfully worked.

st. LOUIS, April 9.-Congressman John NJ.
Glover and Judge Henry d. Laughlin, the latter
one OF the most prominent attorneys in st. Louis,
were the central figures in little sensation to-
day that threatens serious consequences. K. d.
Lancaster, surveyor OF the park, is suing
Glover for 100000 for alleged Hbelous
utterances OF the latter. Glover is taking
dispositions to show Lancaster's character. The
taking OF dispositions has been progressing sew.
eTal days and exciting personal episodes have
enlivened the proceedings. Judge Laughlin is
OF counsel for Lancaster. Glover objected to
Laughlin way OF handling a witness, and
Laughlin resented the interference, and words
OF the Congressman. Hot words ensued, and
both men sprang to their feet. The referee be-
tore whom the case is proceeding got between
them and prevented fight.
At the close OF the days session Glover said he
had used harsh language, and was willing to
withdraw the epithets he had applied to Laugh
lin II the latter would do the same. 81 am will

'1'n have no hallway business" said Laugh
lin; "you are the aggressor, and must apologize

'You will see me further" said Laughlin,

1t is thought by those who know both men
that Lsughlin, who is known to be a man OF
nerve, and an expert with the pistol, will COM
pei Glover to make a full apology or meet him
In mortal combat. Those who know Glover say
he can not be made to eat his words. Thus the
case stands. A challenge is considered almost q
certainty, and the next developments are anx-
iously awaited by friends OF both parties.

Gang.


JEFFERsoNvILLE, April 6-John Scott, wife aud
daughter, sged fifteen years, passed through
the city this morning on their way
10 Jefferson County. They are from the
northwestern part of Harrison County, and
their journey thence was forced one. Scott
tells a narrowing story OF an outrageous vista
tation by the knights of the switch" and
bears evidences Of its truth on his person In
many q mark across his back where the cruel
switches cut his flesh. His story is as follows:
He has lived in the northwestern portion of
Harrison County for about four years and eked
out living on 8 small rented farm. About two
months ago stranger called and represented
himself as a taxcollector. Claiming to have
business in the neighborhood that would
detain him for several days, he asked
and obtained consent of Scott to
board with him while in that vicinity.
The stranger, who gave his name as Morgan,
was visited by several young men, who were
also strangers in the neighborhood. In the
meantime Morgan had established an intimacy
with the daughter, a handsome. dashing girl,
who, the father said, had always been a dutiful
child. They took frequent strolls down the
road leading from the log cabin in
which the family lived, through the
woods. Morgan had been there about ten

was served in the usual style by placing note
ofwarning, accompanied by a bundle OF switch
es, at his door during the night. No at
tention was paid to the matter except that it
was regarded merely as q Joke. AS he was or
dered to leave in tweniy-four hours events fol-
lowed rapidly. The next night he was called
to the door, and expecting danger
hesitatingly opened it, when he was seized by
two masked men, who led him shor distynce
from the house when they were Joined
by other masked men. He was asked
which he would prefer, Ito hang or take a
whipping and leave the county in twenty-four
hours" He took the latter and two of the
"Knights" were ordered by the captain Of the
gang to remove his shirt, after which he was
subjected to forty lsshes and then sternly ordered
to depart Hurriedly gathering up his
household goods the family started on a weary
hunt for friendly place to locate and they are
now on their way to Jefferson County where
Scott hopes to hud a home in which to spend
his fast declining days.
